Subject: {dbilg} This Is Priceless!
Sorry for being so quiet everyone, but I'm still here reading all the good
stuff! Here's something I'd like to share with everyone:
Saying Grace In A Restaurant
Last week, I took my children to a restaurant.
My six-year-old son asked if he could say grace.
As we bowed our heads he said, 'God is good, God is great. Thank you for the
food, and I would even thank you more if Mom gets us ice cream for dessert.
And Liberty and justice for all! Amen!'
Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby, I heard a woman
remark, 'That's what's wrong with this country. Kids today don't even know how
to pray. Asking God for ice cream! Why, I never!'
Hearing this, my son burst into tears and asked me, 'Did I do it wrong? Is
God mad at me?'
As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job, and God was
certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the table.
He winked at my son and said, 'I happen to know that God thought that was a
great prayer.'
'Really?' my son asked.
'Cross my heart,' the man replied.
Then, in a theatrical whisper, he added (indicating the woman whose remark
had started this whole thing), 'Too bad she never asks God for ice cream. A
little
ice cream is good for the soul sometimes.'
Naturally, I bought my kids ice cream at the end of the meal. My son stared
at his for a moment, and then did something I will remember the rest of my life.
He picked up his sundae and, without a word, walked over and placed it in
front of the woman. With a big smile he told her, 'Here, this is for you. Ice
cream is good for the soul sometimes; and my soul is good already.'
The End
I love this story!
Please keep it moving.
Sometimes, we all need some ice cream.
And some Chocolate too .
I hope God sends you some Ice Cream today!
We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to
those
who are called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28
